WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY

  • The reference contains 63.3g net carbs per 100 g.
  • Use the matching preparation and weigh or measure the amount going into your portion.
  • Adding fat, protein or a different sweetener does not subtract the carbohydrate already present.

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

MEASURE AFTER POPPING

Measure the air-popped corn that will be eaten, keeping it separate from unpopped kernels.

BUILD A SEASONED BOWL

Count butter, oil, cheese, seasoning and sweet coatings separately from the plain popped-corn portion.
